NAD: Bugera BVV3000

Nope. Ended up buying a Traynor YBA-300 for a steal and then went through hell with a repair shop doing a once over on it. Basically I got charged 150$ for them to break my preamp and tell me to get bent. It's now at a legit repair facility finally.
Long story short, tube amps hate me.
Wow...too bad this happened to you.
Over here in Germany I have forums contacts to a good dozen guys owning this head by now.
Me being the first one being curious enough to order one back in December 2012 and then couple of other guys to follow after I had just good experiences to share.
The only case of damage I know of is my own one where a power amp tube drew air and died, and that was after I changed all tubes in the head from the original Bugeras to JJs.
This one JJ 6550 ran about 3h, then we took a little break for the poor smoke addicted band members and when we came back in after some 15 minutes the amp wouldn't come back from standby.
Replaced that tube with a new JJ and everything runs fine again since then.
No hiss, no hum, just that mighty, warm and rich tone that only a full tube head can produce.
I have the choice between having it drive one or two 4 Ohms 410, a 4 Ohms TecAmp L810 or a big custom built 2x18 + 2x6 cab.
It is crazy what amount of raw power this amp can deliver.
Love it from the first second I had it and still get that stupid grin in my face whenever I flip the switch...
